Tethered
My lover I adore you
Without you I would perish
Always my beloved
A heart I simply cherish
As tears betray my eyes
You hold on to my hand
Breathing me to life
When I can hardly stand
Knowing me profoundly
Words need not convey
Always right beside me
Linked in every way
Blessed by your presence
Your devotion, unmatched
Unwavering affection
Forever are we attached
I am tethered to your essence
Providing me with grace
Inhaling with your touch
My soul in your embrace
Without you I would perish
Always my beloved
A heart I simply cherish
As tears betray my eyes
You hold on to my hand
Breathing me to life
When I can hardly stand
Knowing me profoundly
Words need not convey
Always right beside me
Linked in every way
Blessed by your presence
Your devotion, unmatched
Unwavering affection
Forever are we attached
I am tethered to your essence
Providing me with grace
Inhaling with your touch
My soul in your embrace

I felt stanzas 3 and 4 had some areas of weak rhythm. the second stanza is my favorite with its personification and metaphor.

Thank you for response...I'll look into rhythm and see what I can modify for better flow:)

the rhythm felt a bit rough in the third and fourth stanza. but otherwise a good poem to read again, especially with the metaphor of being tethered.

So it’s now 2022 with 2023 fast approaching. How’d this work out for you since 2017?
